Adding a Forum to open EMR

not sure if this issue i covered elsewhere but search shows nothing compatible.

I am looking at the possibility of adding a Forum, with sections for Medical/Patients etc.
One with a compatible API which allows same login for forum & site simutaneously.
e.g. when logged into one they are logged into other too!

jimibrez,

    I wonder if you are talking about an openID capability between the support forums and an openEMR instance? Could you elaborate?

No Sorry i probably under elaborated.
I am talking about installing a medical support forum on my site that through an API, automatically recognizes the openemr logged in client. Possibly with a “Forum” button under the “Miscellaneous” one in left side menu.(Opening in new tab of course)

Jinbrez,
    Ok, so if you run a separate instance of apache then you could look into openid and implement a single sign on approach. Check out http://openid.net/
